2018 Grad Lands Dream Career with Caesar’s

We caught up with Maritza, a 2018 graduate of JAG Nevada, who is now working in her dream career as a Catering Convention Services Manager at Caesar’s.

While attending Basic High School, Martiza hadn’t made plans after graduation and wasn’t sure about attending college. Once she joined the JAG program, she became engaged in school and took AP and honors classes to challenge herself academically. She made it one of her goals to apply for the Promise scholarship at College of Southern Nevada.

Her plans after graduation evolved to include studying hospitality and communications – and now, 6 years later, she has landed the career she wanted!
